Evolution
Weekend
2009 marked the fourth consecutive year in which
Darwin's birthday has been observed by congregations to recognize that
religion and science, two fields of critical
importance to humans, should be seen as complementary rather than
confrontational. Kearney Unitarian, St.
Martha's Episcopal in Papillion, and both Augustana Lutheran and
Countryside Community churches in Omaha were among more than
1000
congregations from across the country and around the world to
participate. A partial list of various
local events, some occuring later in 2009, is available by clicking here. An international
registry of events is also available
by clicking here.
(Neither the map directory search nor
the event archive are reliable, but finding the phrase (without
quotations marks) "/NE"will locate all registered Darwin Day 2009
events in Nebraska (and alas, also those in Nevada, New Jersey, and any
other state beginning with Ne).
